Message-ID: Hi, all: This posted below just came to me from my friend John Lester. Tom C Message from sender: This one is, regrettably, for real Full story here: http://technews.netscape.com/news/0-1003-200-1812992.html?tag=st.ne.1002.thed. 1003-200-1812992 ------------------------------------------------------- "I Love You" email virus sacks computers May 4, 2000, 11:20 a.m. PT http://home.cnet.com/category/0-1003-200-1812992.html A computer virus that experts warn could be more disruptive than the notorious Melissa virus has hit computers in Asia and Europe and is quickly spreading across the United States via email. The virus, which includes the message "I Love You" or "Love Letter" in the email subject line, was first spotted in Asia early this morning, according to security systems firm F-Secure. Company executives said that the virus may have originated in the Philippines. "I've been doing antivirus research for the past nine years, and it hasn't been this bad," said Mikko Hypponen, a research manager at F-Secure, who also noted that the first report received of the virus came in at around 9:00 a.m. GMT (2 a.m. PT) on Thursday from Norway. "It's spreading so fast, so globally, and twice as widespread as the Melissa virus." By 1 p.m. GMT (6 a.m. PT), F-Secure had reports from more than 20 countries, he said. The virus arrives in an email that includes an attachment called "Love-Letter-For-You," according to F-Secure. The virus targets people who use Microsoft’s Outlook email program--a widely used default email client at companies--to send messages with the virus to everyone listed in that person's address book. The email virus has infected computer systems across Asia, Europe and the United Sates and is spreading fast, according to representatives from many companies. Hypponen, who called the Love virus "destructive," said the most damage could be to media houses--including radio stations, magazines and advertising agencies--that have lost photo archives and music files, as the virus directly attacks those types of files. "A large publishing house that got hit with the virus this morning lost their complete photo archives," Hypponen said. "The problem is it automatically deletes your (image and music) files. (Antivirus upgrades) can remove the virus but can't undo the damage. If you don't have back-ups to your files, you lose." One mid-sized Web site reported that the worm wreaked havoc on its computers today, but that the public site was spared the Windows-specific worm because the site is served off a Linux computer. "It was taking any MP3 files and it was making duplicates of itself with a VBScript extension, and any '.jpg' files on our server were being transformed to VBScript," said the site's administrator, who did not want the site identified. "We've got an employee who got nailed heavily, and every '.jpg' graphic has been converted to a '.vbs' file." One site heavily dependent on the integrity of its MP3 files--MP3.com--has apparently weathered the "Love" bug unscathed. A representative said the company's information systems administrators sent out a warning to employees about the worm early in the day, and no damage had yet been reported. Sources said that several government organizations in the Washington, D.C., area, including the Pentagon, the Federal Reserve, the Coast Guard and the Defense Department, have been hit by the email virus. "We certainly have seen scattered instances of it throughout the Defense Department, but I don't have any overall assessment at this time," said department spokeswoman Susan Hansen. "Our joint task force on computer network defense has this under consideration. I can confirm that, like many other organizations, we too...have seen this virus." An FBI representative added, "The FBI is currently assessing any impact this has had both nationally and internationally." The representative would not say whether the agency had been infected by the virus, however. The National Infrastructure Protection Center, which has helped coordinate the investigation into denial-of-service attacks, today issued a warning about the virus. Once opened, the email virus overwrites existing local script and HTML files, as well as picture and music files, with its own code, F-Secure said. Files with extensions ".jpg," ".jpeg," ".mp3" and ".mp2" are overwritten, the company said. Last year, the Melissa virus clogged corporate email servers across the country, causing more than $80 million in damage. A New Jersey resident, David Smith, was arrested and charged with disseminating the original Melissa virus. News.com's Paul Festa contributed to this report. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 May 2000 17:16:08 -0400 From: Mark Vaughan-Jackson To: wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu Subject: Re: Hanriots - was WW1 Engines Message-ID: Tom, just picked up the Hanriot Floatplane myself and am also leaning towards Bam. . . .don't think I'm ready for the five colour camo just yet.

The virus will come with the subject I LOVE YOU. Do not open this e-mail, simply delete it. If you are using Microsoft Outlook then this virus could infect your system. Because our standard here in Danbury is Lotus Notes we should see little effect from this virus but Outlook is commonly used for a personal e-mail reader. Be cautious with any e-mail from anyone, even if it is from someone you know. This virus will e-mail itself to all the people in the Outlook address book so you may receive it from a friend who has been infected. More information on the virus can be obtained from http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.loveletter.a.html Because this is a very new virus there is no update to the Norton Anti-virus definitions yet but we will be updating the definitions as soon as new ones are available. _______________________________________________________________________ Why pay when you don't have to?

They were sued by RIAA *not* because of the MP3's, but because of their database of already, legit CD's. The one service they provided that was the basis of the suit was their "Beam It" software, where if you legititmately owned a CD, you could "upload" that CD into their database so you can hear the CD anywhere you go. However, their biggest mistake with this was not asking permission. This is a small percentage of what mp3.com does, and not what they initially designed the site for. There are thousands - ney, probably hundreds of thousands - of legitimate, legal MP3's on mp3.com. Most of these MP3's are by artists who want their music heard, but are not attached to any one major label. MP3 is the *perfect way* for smaller acts to get their music heard - legitimately and legally. I have been swayed a few times to purchase an artists CD because of the MP3 I heard at mp3.com. In fact, I have a queue of about 10 CD's I plan on purchasing (once the money is there) due to what I heard on mp3.com. Then you have the legitimate artists releasing MP3's *for profit* to their fan base - and those fans thankful for those songs they can get nowhere else. What Metallica has done is sued Napster, which is using the MP3 format for the way they handle songs. If Napster decided to use .WAV's instead, would you say that all .WAV's are bad? Or the Unix AIFF format? If there was a site called wav.com, would you consider that evil? C'mon and think about it. Just like a trailer in a movie theater gets the audience pumped to see a movie, so is what MP3's are doing for artists - especially the smaller artist with no "major" record deal. Gads...

The Hannover builder - his first OT - is Fernando Estanislau, unless "Dr Hilton" is his nome de plume or something.

Three months later on another aircraft of the same make I would have a mate take a photo of me infront of the aircraft, this time with serial in plain view, but me infront of the flight marking.
